Thanks for sharing, @haphazard-hstead. I did not 'print' them to see for certain, though I did ask my parent's neighbor, who seemed certain that we shouldn't eat it. I removed them out of precaution because my kids were with me and the dog was beginning to show interest as I snapped photos of it.

I have some odd mushrooms that come up in my yard as well, so I might have to ping you for preparing the edibles that I find. I'm not much for eating them, but I'll try anything once 😆

The dehydrating idea you shared sounds like something I might have to try! Anything that resembles a beef strip - I'll try it..lol

Thanks again for your informative response! I'm learning a lot & that's what I like!!
